Mercedes ML 270 cdi 2002 (W163) - The diesel fuel filter/housing is leaking !!!

[13enzy]

Hi
I have a Mercedes ML 270 cdi 2002 (W163) - The diesel fuel filter/housing is leaking from underneath the fuel filter assembly somewhere, but unfortunately i cannot see or locate the actual leaking point, as the EGR unit and the power steering filler reservoir/housing is covering all the area around the fuel filter making it impossible to even see around and underneath the fuel filter...... How can I access the fuel filter housing / assembly area to get a good access to pinpoint the leak and take appropriate steps to fix the fuel leak ???
Do i have to remove the complete EGR unit/housing...and also the power steering filler housing too ???

Is this it ? Probably leaking fuel from the top , the pipes going in/out and fuel heater if fitted .
